Patti Jackson of Il TrulliI have a post up about the pork festival Pig Island over at Civil Eats. This was a really fun piece to work with and I gathered way more material than I ended up using--including photos. Some of these are from the pig pickup at the Union Square Greenmarket and some are from the event itself.

I'm no vegetarian or PETA advocate, but posting pictures of grinning idiots hoisting slaughtered (not even hunted, but slaughtered) animals, just shows how ignorant and heartless you are. If nothing else (and I fear there isn't), did you ever think that some impressionable little kid may see this? May your nightmares exceed theirs.

Damn right! What the hell is wrong with you? Posing with dead animals. Well If you have to eat em do it. but being proud of killing them and taking pictures .... damn that's disgusting!!! You are sadists and that is sick!!!
